I don't understand this.  I would do EndNotes like this:

Make a book.
Create a file called Endnotes.  Add paragraph numbering for each reference.
Add the Endnotes document to the book.
When writing the document cross-reference the "notes" to your EndNote document.

Granted it takes you some time to set up, but there's alot of
flexability in Frame.
